I won't just 'appear' on Traffic Cops, they'll have to give me my own series.

My musical partner in crime has just informed me that people do indeed read this blog (and sometimes they comment too, thanks Ellingwoof and Leachy boy you wonderful Huncotonians :D), so since I've got nothing else to do until Lark Rise at 8, I thought I might as well kill some time with a bit o' bloggin' from the noggin :)

WOAH. *screechy someone-pushed-the-needle-off-the-record noise*

What....what is this?!?! *curious poke of head around bedroom door*

My brother is listening to The Last 5 Years :O :O :O
I'VE ACTUALLY CRACKED HIM TOO! :D

Aha, I love intruding on innocent people's lives by introducing them to the insane wonders of the musical genius that is Jason Robert Brown. That was a long-winded sentence.
Tuesday will be the first concert I've done at Lutterworth where I haven't sung a JRB song. I'm a bit too obsessed with the guy, really.
But it's half down to him that Ellingwoof and I got to know each other, so it can't be all bad :P "Jamie is overrrr and Jamie is gone...."

Today was really nice :) Got up mid-morning and did some more Dorrit-ing, then since my Mum had her win on the Lottery yesterday she took us all down to Foxton Locks, which is one of my favourite places EVER :)
We took a nice, charming walk around the locks and it was such a beautiful day :) BRING ON SUMMER.

Well, it continued to be nice and charming that is until my Dad made some unnecessary comment about me needing to be careful of a bush and I almost pushed him in the canal.

Mum put a fair dent in her winnings by buying us lunch at the lovely pub there, and then somehow we rolled back to the car, because we all ate FAR too much.

"OH MY GAWWWWWWSH, you look JUST like Shakira."

The rest of the afternoon was spent on composition, blowing up my bass amp and doing a bit of singing practice; I figured I really need it if I'm going to crack this whole Grade 8 thing in July.

"No, no, you're Catherine Zeta...."

Aww, I wish my Dad had been our Music teacher in Year 8. With his class he's doing a unit on Film and TV music, and to show them the true POWER of background music, he's taken a few Harry Potter scenes and is playing them back with really stupid music in the background.
Scary thing is, it actually works!
Think Diagon Alley with Eastenders or the Flying Car scene with Jaws.
My brother and I both share a really strange sense of humour, so we found it hilarious.

"Erm, actually, my name's Marina, and I'm not a robot, and I feel watered down whenever he's around."

Come on, one more week till freedom, we can last it...fingers crossed...
